Question: So, the home teams are 11-0 in the playoffs so far. Who will be the first team to break that record and get a win on the road tonight? 1) The Suns? Because they have three stars and two will show up to have a great game? Instead of one. 2) The Mavs? Because Harden will come back down to earth, Luka will play like an allstar, and the Mavs D will show up? 3) The Pacers? Because Haliburton will show up and the Bucks don't have enough without Giannis? 2* If Kawhi does play, will that actually help win, or will he be at 70%? Either Dallas or Indiana.
One of the non Pacers games will have both teams in the same game under 102.

Law Murray 🐦🔥 @lawmurraythenu · 8m Kawhi Leonard has arrived ahead of Game 2 tonight with an intention to warm up. Woj even got in on it. Worst kept secret at this point.

"intention to warm up" and "on the cusp"?? So he's playing or not? Woj has been using that type of language when he gets the news, but the source doesn't want him to directly say it. I'd say it's all but certain he's playing.

Mavs defense has come out much better. Only 11 points so far with 3 min to go in the 1st. Kawhi shaking off some rust.

Dallas with more physicality in the first quarter.

Kawhi usually plays the entire 1st quarter, but he checked out after 7 min tonight so he's likely on a minute restriction. I'd guess it's around 32 min.

This looks like a play-in game.

Clippers likely need a 37 minute game.

Man we are playing bad. Kawhi 2 steps slow. Zu and Plum missing dunks. Lucky to not be down by way more.

I don't think I've seen Kyrie play defense with this intensity before. He's trying to pressure Harden full court. Clippers have not looked ready for the Mavs increased intensity. Playing off the back foot. May need some more Westbrook in this game to impose his will into this one.

Looks like it's going to be this type of game, until the end.

Playing off the back foot. May need some more Westbrook in this game to impose his will into this one. I made a reference to Rocky Balboa vs. Clubber Lang yesterday.
Looks like Clippers chose the Rocky route, as in the guy that stops and poses for the camera during his workouts, not the guy who is focused in preparation with no distractions.
